Diodes Incorporated Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Achieves Another Quarter of Record Revenue and Gross Profit; Sets a New Record for Operating Income

Plano, Texas – November 7, 2017 -- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter Highlights

Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,

“Diodes achieved another quarter of record results, setting new highs on revenue, gross profit and operating income. Our growth continued to be broad-based across all regions and end markets. We also achieved record revenue in our computing and communications end markets, complemented by 30 percent year-over-year growth in both automotive and industrial.  In fact, our automotive end market reached a record 8 percent of revenue, which is even more notable considering the higher revenue base. Revenue from Pericom also continued to grow from the high level achieved last quarter, with solid margin contribution as we integrate these products into our complete customer offerings.

“Additionally, continued improvements in product mix and utilization across our facilities resulted in non-GAAP gross margin close to our target model of 35 percent in the quarter. We have completed wafer manufacturing at our KFAB facility and remain on track to return the property to the landlord by November 15^th. Consistent with our focus on driving

increased profitability and expanding shareholder value, we recently established new long-term financial targets, which includes gross margin of 40 percent and operating margin of 20 percent. As a result of the strategic actions we have taken over the past few years, we have positioned the business to drive significant earnings expansion, serving as the basis for introducing these increased targets.

“Our business is also generating a significant amount of cash. We plan to continue allocating cash toward reducing our long-term debt, while also maintaining the flexibility to support our future expansion initiatives, potential strategic acquisitions as well as our existing share buyback program.  Looking forward, we are well positioned to benefit from our solid operating leverage to deliver increased profitability and shareholder value.”

Third Quarter 2017

Revenue for third quarter 2017 was $285.2 million, an increase of 8.0 percent from the $264.2 million in the second quarter 2017 and an increase of 13.8 percent from $250.7 million in third quarter 2016. Revenue in the quarter increased sequentially reflecting continued strength across all of the Company’s target end markets and geographies.

GAAP gross profit for third quarter 2017 was $96.3 million, or 33.8 percent of revenue, including approximately $2.7 million of KFAB closure costs. Non-GAAP gross profit was $99.0 million, or 34.7 percent of revenue, excluding these costs. This compares to GAAP gross profit of $90.1 million, or 34.1 percent of revenue, in the second quarter 2017 and $80.6 million, or 32.2 percent of revenue, in the third quarter 2016.  The increase in gross profit margin was due primarily to continued improvements in product mix and utilization, combined with another strong quarter in North America and Europe as well as the Pericom business.

GAAP operating expenses for third quarter 2017 were $72.6 million, or 25.5 percent of revenue, and $63.9 million, or 22.4 percent of revenue, on a non-GAAP basis, which excludes $4.7 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible asset expenses, $2.0 million of KFAB restructuring charges and $2.0 million for the impairment of fixed assets. GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter 2017 were $66.3 million, or 25.1 percent of revenue, and $59.8 million, or 22.6 percent of revenue, on a non-GAAP basis.  

Third quarter 2017 GAAP net income was $14.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $13.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in second quarter 2017 and $10.6 million, or $0.21 per share, in third quarter 2016.

Third quarter 2017 non-GAAP adjusted net income was $22.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $3.8 million of non-cash acquisition-related intangible asset amortization costs, $3.1 million of KFAB restructuring and closure costs and $1.3 million of fixed asset impairment charges. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $17.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in second quarter 2017 and $15.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in third quarter 2016.

The following is an unaudited summary reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income and per share data, net of tax (in thousands, except per share data):

(See the reconciliation tables of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income near the end of this release for further details.)

Included in third quarter 2017 GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $3.2 million, net of tax, of non-cash share-based compensation expense.  Excluding share-based compensation expense, both GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) and non-GAAP adjusted EPS would have increased by $0.06 per share for third quarter 2017, $0.07 for second quarter 2017 and $0.06 for third quarter 2016.

EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, for third quarter 2017, was $46.8 million, compared to $45.8 million for second quarter 2017 and $42.5 million for third quarter 2016.  For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, see the table near the end of this release for further details.

For third quarter 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $40.9 million. Net cash flow was a negative ($65.4) million, including the $75.2 million long-term debt pay down.

Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $2.9 million, which includes $38.0 million of capital expenditures.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $214 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, long-term debt (including the current portion) totaled approximately $326 million, and working capital was approximately $476 million.  

The results announced today are preliminary, as they are subject to the Company finalizing its closing procedures and customary quarterly review by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company files its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2017.

Business Outlook

Dr. Lu concluded, “We expect typical seasonality for the fourth quarter of 2017 with revenue to range between $260 million and $280 million, or down 8.9 to 1.8 percent sequentially or up 12.0 to 20.6 percent year-over-year. We expect GAAP gross margin to be 34.9 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin to be 35.0 percent, plus or minus 1 percent. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for KFAB closure costs and retention costs and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 23.5 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent.  We expect interest expense to be approximately $3.0 million.  Our income tax rate is expected to be 29.0 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the fourth quarter are anticipated to be approximately 50.8 million.” Please note that purchase accounting adjustments of $3.9 million, after tax, for Pericom and previous acquisitions plus KFAB closure costs of $3.8 million are not included in these non-GAAP estimates.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

The Company adjusts United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income and earnings per share attributable to common stockholders to provide investors a better depiction of the Company’s operating results, allow for a more accurate comparison between the Company’s current and historical operating results and provide a baseline for more informed modeling of future earnings. The Company makes adjustments for inventory acquired, transaction costs, retention costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and restructuring costs. The Company also excludes these items to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, develop budgets, determine incentive compensation awards and manage cash expenditure. The presentation of the above non-GAAP measures allows investors to review the Company’s results of operations from the same viewpoint as the Company’s management and Board of Directors.  The Company has historically provided similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors an enhanced understanding of its operations, facilitate investors’ analyses and comparisons of its current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of its future performance.  The Company also believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information that research analysts use to evaluate semiconductor companies.  These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results and may differ from measures used by other companies.  For example, we do not adjust for any amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest except for one-time non-cash items outside the course of ordinary business, such as impairment of goodwill.  The Company recommends a review of net income on both a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis be performed to get a comprehensive view of the Company’s results and provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income.

Detail of non-GAAP adjustments

Retention costs– The Company excluded costs related to employee retention in connection with the Pericom acquisition.   Although these retention costs will be recurring  every quarter until the final retention payment has been made, they are not part of the employees’ normal annual salaries and therefore are being excluded.  The Company believes the exclusion of retention costs related to acquisitions provides investors with a more accurate reflection of costs likely to be incurred in the absence of an unusual event such as an acquisition and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such costs.  

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets – The Company excluded this item, including amortization of developed technologies and customer relationships.  The fair value of the acquisition-related intangible assets, which was recognized through purchase accounting, is amortized using straight-line methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful life of the applicable assets.  The Company believes that exclusion of this item is appropriate because a significant portion of the purchase price for its acquisitions was allocated to the intangible assets that have short lives and exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both the Company’s newly acquired and long-held businesses.  In addition, the Company excluded this item because there is significant variability and unpredictability among companies with respect to this expense.

KFAB restructuring - The Company has recorded restructuring charges related to the shutdown and relocation of its wafer fabrication facility located in Lee’s Summit, MO (“KFAB”).  These restructuring charges are excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the restructuring charges provides investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of the Company’s operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such charges or may reflect different levels of such charges.

KFAB shut-down related costs – The Company has recorded shut-down related costs due to the shutdown and relocation of KFAB.  These shut-down related costs are excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the shut-down related costs provides investors with a more accurate reflection of the continuing operations of the Company and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods which may not reflect such costs.

Impairment of fixed assets - The Company has recorded impairment charges related to the shutdown and relocation of KFAB.  These impairment charges are excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the impairment charges provides investors with a

more accurate reflection of the continuing operations of the Company and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods which may not reflect such costs.

CASH FLOW ITEMS

Free cash flow (FCF) (Non-GAAP)

FCF for the third quarter of 2017 is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations.  For the third quarter of 2017, FCF was a $2.9 million ($40.9 million less $38.0 million).  FCF represents the cash and cash equivalents that we are able to generate after taking into account cash outlays required to maintain or expand property, plant and equipment. FCF is important because it allows us to pursue opportunities to develop new products, make acquisitions and reduce debt.

CONSOLIDATED RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization. Management believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, such as financial institutions in extending credit, in evaluating companies in our industry and provides further clarity on our profitability. In addition, management uses EBITDA, along with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures, in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. The calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing, operating in different income tax jurisdictions, and accounting effects of capital spending, including the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets and the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization expense.  EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income from operations and net income, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. For example, our EBITDA takes into account all net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization without taking into account any attributable to noncontrolling interest. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.
